September My invention relates to a new and useful improvement in a ring, and has for its ob- 'ject the provisionfof a ring made from la ,'composition such as pressed hard rubber, O r V the like, and'so constructed as to be economical ofmanufacture, highly lattractive, ornamental in appearance, and durable in its structure.) It is an Object ofthe present, inventlon to 1v0 provide a ring made from this material having a reinforcement extended through the an- 'nular portion for strengthening the annular Other objects will o appear herelnafter.

and arrangement of: parts hereinafter de- Y 'scribed and claimed. z V i' lThe inventionwill be best understood from v a reference to the accompanying drawings, Vwhich form a part of this specification and in which, A

Se-

cured on the outer surface of the layer 11, also, preferably by vulcanizing, is a layer 12,

which is slightly shorter than the layer 11, 6053 'to provide a continuance of' the ornamental portion mounted on the portion 10. This layer 12 is preferably of the same color as the annular portion 9 and the ornamental support ing portion 10. v Formed inV the layer 12 are dove-tailed grooves 13`in which may be positioned, by inlaying, metallic letters 14 having the sides thereof beveled, so that the inlaid letters, or ornamental designs are securely locked in position in the layer 12. If desired, 70,.

these letters or ornamental designs 14 may be inserted and the layer 11 moulded around them andvulcanized, Or otherwise securely fastened, to the layer 11 at the same time.

Extending throughout the annular portion 9 of the ring and projecting upwardly into the portion 10 is a Wire reinforcement '15. As shown in Fig. 4, the ends 16 of the wire 15 are twisted so as to extend slightly into the v portion V1v0. The use of the reinforcement in this manner serves to Strengthen the ring and prevent its breaking at that portion, namely, 'the annular portion 9, which is most fragile. With a ring constructed in this manner,

thereV is provided a durable and cheaply con- 8,55;

struct'ed ring of a highly pleasing and ornamental appearance. p V VWhile I have illustrated and described the preferred form of construction, I do not wish to'li'mit myself to th'e'precise form of 'struc- 90.y

ture shown, but desire to avail myself of such variations and modifications as comewithin' the scope of the appended clailns. i

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Patent is:
